WHMCS

WHMCS has shifted its pricing strategy significantly in recent years, moving from an owned license model to a purely subscription-based model tiered by active client count. As of early 2026, the 'Plus' plan serves as the entry point at $34.95 per month, supporting up to 250 clients. The 'Professional' tier at $54.95 covers up to 500 clients. For larger operations, the 'Business' plans start at $84.95 for 1,000 clients and scale up to $1,999.95 for an 'Unlimited' client tier. These prices reflect a series of annual increases intended to fund faster development cycles and the integration of new technologies like AI. Hosting providers often get discounted or 'free' licenses when bundling with reseller hosting plans from partners like cPanel, although the base retail price remains the industry benchmark. No free trial is offered directly, though many users utilize the 30-day money-back guarantee to test the platform.
